Pros

Job security. If you are career minded, with no questions asked, this would be a quality employer. Decent pay, but lower than the industry median. Benefits are standard, with flex spending. Promote from within.

Cons

No merit based promotions, or raises. Ask not what the company can do for you, ask what you can do for the company ideology. Long hours. A lot of out of town work (worked for them for 4 years, out of town jobs for the duration). Per diems and out of town assistance varies by employee, and is rather poor. Little guidance from the start. Jobs are usually poorly manned (completed 15 million over the past year - 2 men; 1 Super, and myself). Man power is shuffled continuously. Upper management takes little interest in the job. It is a popularity contest of who you work for, or who you know. A lot of poor employees, but no pink slips. This causes dead weight, and cause the lack of promotions.

Pros

Company is financially secure, so little chance of lay offs. Very high diversity of skills are taught, giving you a well rounded set job/career skills. Overall, good company culture and sense of excellence.

Cons

If you are looking for a 9-5 job, look somewhere else. There is a reason this company is so financially sound....its people do the work of 2 or sometimes 3 people. Nearly every project I was on I was the accountant, receptionist, estimator, scheduler, coordinator, safety officer, quality control officer, photographer...the list goes on. They will throw you to the wolves, so you must be extremely efficient. Dont be afraid to speak your mind, and express concern about team make-up and productivity.

Pros

Loyalty to employees is a huge bonus when working at Whiting-Turner. When they invest in you they want to keep you around and they do not fire employees.

Cons

The only con I can think of is the travel. Sometimes employees need to travel long distances to get to work, however; travel is the nature of this profession.
